Carlo Ancelotti was at the Maracanã to, for example, watch Pedro in person during this Sunday’s (3) Flamengo vs. Vasco match.
And Endrick made a point of stressing that he is still very much alive in the race for a World Cup spot.
Lyon fell behind against Rennes after a stunning goal from Jordanian Mousa Tamari just six minutes in.
They came from behind even before halftime with Yaremchuk (37') and Tolisso converting a penalty (42').
Lepaul equalized for Rennes right at the start of the second half (48').
The persistent Lyon went back in front thanks to Afonso Moreira (52').
Endrick was already standing out with passes that put his teammates in great positions.
But he decided to settle it in the 75th minute, when, “with his weaker foot,” he unleashed a powerful right-footed strike to make it 4-2.
The Brazilian striker developed at Palmeiras and owned by Real Madrid reached his eighth goal in 19 matches for the French team. He also has six assists.
Lyon reached 60 points in Ligue 1. They are currently in third place and are on course for a spot in the league phase of the next Champions League. Lille (58), Rennes (56), and Monaco (54) are their rivals with three rounds remaining.
According to FIFA’s schedule, the CBF must send, on May 11, a preliminary list of 55 players called up for the 2026 World Cup.
A week later, on May 18, Carlo Ancelotti will announce the 26 players who will try to win Brazil’s sixth World Cup title at the tournament in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
